G'day corvette159, welcome to the forum. Sad to hear that. Yes we need to know which model and location.
A new post in Bikes Pics and members saying G'day and an intro would be nice.
Cheers

Hi there corvette, welcome, am hoping you'll get help from the forum. Cases seems to appear on ebay on a regular basis, but may need closer scrutiny before sending any cash.

(ps, 1st post got heavily modified with much info added after receiving replies, better to not alter original content too much > just make a new post)

My own heavily corroded crankcases being virtually unrecoverable, I was able to get some, same D A10 model, manefactured 3 months after my original ones, from USA with Ebay after a few unsuccessful tries. ( I am unable to attend autojumbles etc where I live) Cost inc. postage was OK ( i am in Australia) There are several up on Ebay at the moment, you just have to be a bit patient. Thats if you cant get some from the helpful members here. Cheers, Gav.

 Double/triple check everything and don't rush.  I think the slower and pedantic the build the longer it lasts. Not sure of something, ask.
